Hmm, I have a feeling he was thinking of DSL modems. I might be wrong, of course?

Next step is FastATA MK -III and SubwayUSB card...I see in ACube page that for FastATA required "AllowBasePageAccess" this option? How I can enabled or add this option?

Just edit your Startup-Sequence and add "AllowBasePageAccess" as an argument in the bootloader line.

It's another frames bug, not the one I fixed. One of the pages were it's really bad are for example the middle frames on http://os4welt.de/
It can be fixed by scrolling the frame(s) up with the mosue wheel, even if they should be at the top already, that will move them where they belong.

Yep, I can see that is also the case on my own page; after I scroll each of the two sub-frames into position, the links work as they should in both. Didn't think of trying that.

It's not a bug in the OWB parts but in WebKit, for example the KDE4 Konqueror had exactely the same bug. In the WebKit version used in current Ubuntu/Hardy KDE4 Konqueror it's fixed now, but the WebKit version used in OWB Blastoise is about 5 months old. Should get fixed in OWB Doduo which will use the current version of WebKit.

Okay, we'll just have to wait for that then. But good to know how to work around it.

Oh, that!

That only does proper HTTP authentication*, I thought you meant a password manager like Mozilla has that can store passwords on arbitrary pages (I think iBrowse can do this but not 100% sure)

Correct, IBrowse, at least in the latest version(s?), has a password manager.

Since some of the reported bugs are the AmigaOS4 parts, and adapting the AmigaOS4 parts for Doduo will probably take some time, I've uploaded a new AmigaOS4 version of OWB Blastoise.
It includes the changes for only rendering the visible parts as well (add the tooltype LOWMEM to enable it), but I doubt it will help much for classic Amigas, it needs much less RAM for large pages but it's probably too slow on classic Amigas that way.

Great! Thanks, J?rg.

I can confirm that it has solved the crash on http://qxl.dk/ and *almost* the problems with nested framesets.

Almost? Well, it looks like when I load a frameset (such as the ones on my site) into the lower (main) frame of e.g. the PROGDIR:UI/ff/navigation.html, some space is added at the top of the main frame, above the two frames of the nested frameset. And the height of this extra space looks suspiciously like the same distance with which all links in the two lower frames are now offset vertically from their visible rendering.

In other words, all the links work as they should in the frame where they should, except you have to move the mouse that distance upwards from the visible link.

Does this explanation make sense? If not, say so, and I'll try a better one tomorrow.

(Good night ...)

Niels

As anyone didn't it have you installed the the slb on your hd before resetting the amiga ?

Hopefully not, as slb (second level bootloader) is only for use on an A1, not a Classic machine.

On a Classic, it's only the 68k version of the filesystem that should be installed into the RDB.

(Edit: Ah, I see you realized that yourself in the meantime.)

It seems the PRE tag isn't honoured, at least not by displaying the contents in a fixed-width font. Is this known/planned? It sort of messes up e.g. auto-generated directory listings on Apache servers

On http://qxl.dk/ just before the page finishes loading, I get a Grim Reaper with a DSI exception. Ignoring DSIs after that leads on to an ISI exception.

I can supply a crash log if requested, but it seems to be easily reproduced.

This site doen't work well (try to click "login" in the top-right corner of the main page):
http://ae-www.technion.ac.il
Looks like it's OWB bug, not induced by the porting.
The links an input field that are not inside main frame do not resond to the mouse.

[...]

I saw this before, back when we didn't have the built-in navigation toolbar, and I used a page with a frameset where the top frame was a toolbar and an URL field, and the rest contained the loaded page. Loading my own page on http://nbache.dk and going to one of the subpages, which are in themselves framesets, led to the links in the largest frame not being usable, instead the ones on the left frame at the same Y-position were followed (IIRC).

It seemed to be a problem in the main OWB code (not this port specifically) which makes OWB confused on pages with framesets within framesets. I think someone was going to report it to the OWB team (J?rg? afxgroup?), but I'm not sure if that ever happened?

I had a quick look around in the ticket lists on sand-labs.org, but didn't find anything that looked like it.

Dunno whats wrong here, works with AWeb quite fine.
It's the same in the Linux version of OWB. The page is reloaded every 10 seconds by the META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh, but the image probably isn't because it's always the same URL (webcam.jpg).

Isn't this ticket #207 on http://www.sand-labs.org/owb/report/1 ?

Re: Links in amigans.net are just text ?

@BillE

I have sometimes noticed that you need to wait until the page is fully loaded, then hold the mouse over the link for a little while, before it "springs to life" and can be clicked. Keep an eye on the changing mouse pointer (maybe you need the very latest OWB for this).

Re: Shared Objects website

BTW, from the "Amiga Python.pdf" that comes with the OS4 port in the July Update (in the Documentation drawer):

---8<---
3.Specific features of Python 2.5.1 for AmigaOS 4.x
Shared Library
This port is implemented as a shared object library, libpython25.so. It usually resides in SOBJS: on your workbench disk. The provided SDK can be used to link your own programs against libpython25.so, as well as creating your own native modules.

@orgin

Yeah, sorry, I don't know the details. Hopefully someone else can fill them in.

At least Google can confirm my hunch about gcov being a test coverage tool. And there are several other parts of the GCC suite that are also implemented as .so files. Of course you could implement more or less any tool in an .so with just a minimal program to call its functionality.

@orgin

I'd wager a guess that libpython25.so is part of Rogue's Python port that comes with OS4.

GCov - I think it's a tool that comes with the GCC compiler suite; test coverage analysis?

Re: Step by step - SFS (and a USB-question)

Posted on: 2008/2/20 0:06 #1336

Just can't stay away

@thomas

May I add: Be absolutely sure you only change the filesystem type and blocksize (with SFS it should be set to 512) etc., and absolutely not anything about starting or ending block numbers or size; if you do something that changes the size of the partition, you will likely lose also the data on one or both neighbouring partitions.

Media Toolbox is normally quite good at telling you exactly what you risk by saving the new layout, but it's still a good idea to make sure you know what to expect.

And remember that although SFS doesn't often get into trouble, once it does, you don't have the same repair tools as with FFS, so make sure to always have recent backups of any vital data, as always, but even more so with SFS.

Best regards,

Niels

Re: Always goes to UBoot prefs

Posted on: 2008/2/19 23:52 #1337

@Skov

Right, that would be the bootdelay which is apparently set to 20 in your UBoot. You can just do a "setenv bootdelay 1" followed by a "saveenv" at the UBoot prompt, or you can mess about with prefs or menus if you prefer.

I guess you could also set it to 0 so you don't see the bootmenu at all, but I'd suggest keeping it at 1, as it is much easier if some day you should get the idea of creating another Kickstart configuration.

Mine is set to 3 (as is my menuboot_delay). But then I do have 8 choices in my bootmenu ...

Niels

Succes!!! Thanks, Thomas!

Now, I have 20 seconds delay before OS4 boot unless I press enter. Can I lower that as well?

I assume you didn't set the menuboot_delay variable to 20.

There is another "delay" variable, but I don't remember the exact name.

You might want to run the nvgetvar command in a shell (once you're booted, of course) and redirect its output to a file, then post the contents here.

nvgetvar with no argument lists all your defined UBoot variables with their values.

It might be easier to help if wee see the whole set.

What I was going to do, was this:

When a remote browser with a local path set is opened, it checks if there is a local browser to the left of it. If there is, and it is currently just listing volumes, it changes the directory of it to the set local directory. This covers the case where you run PFTP and connect to a server.

I will also include a checkbox in the server window to open a local browser next to the remote browser you're about to open, if there isn't one already there.

Yeah, that all sounds cool and will certainly cover my needs.

It looks like the only situation not covered out of the ones I was imagining above is where you do have a local browser to the left of the remote one you are connecting with, but set to a different path than the one defined for that remote server. That's where it would be necessary to have a setting to determine whether it should change from its currently loaded path automatically, or it should prompt you first.

But this situation will not be the usual one, so I can understand it if you don't find it worth the effort to include support for it.

The rest I'm looking forward to checking out some time soon

Niels
